The sexbot is as fast as a Drell, has a shotgun tactical cloak, great mobility, a debuff/crowd control power, damage reduction, shield regen, auto-revive and an insane melee. She's basically a mix of the GI, TGI, Kroguard and Drellguard, but she only has the strengths of those characters and none of their weaknesses.
This. The lolbot is the Jack of all trades and Master Mistress of them all. Every properly designed kit has its strengths and weaknesses, the lolbot does not have weakness, nothing.
The most hilarious thing is that you are rewarded with taking 75% less damage for getting yourself killed 
WTF?!
This is also my issue. I honestly don’t wouldn’t choose her
over my Drell, because I love Recon, and prefer the playstyle of the Assassin
to that of the Edi clone, but my problem with her is that she doesn’t seem to
have been made with balance in mind, while the majority of classes were.
The GI is squishy as all hell, the TGI is durable as hell
but doesn’t have quite the high-end capability of the GI (especially if you don’t
use a Harrier or PPR), the Kroguard is slow and not a weapons platform
(although he’s great close range, especially with the Reegar), the Vorcha have
terrible shields, the Volus might as well have 1 Shield and 1 Health, the Drell
have terrible health, etc. What does the fembot have as a drawback? Really nothing.
She’s an infiltrator (already really survivable and great offensively) who
excels with shotguns (one of the more powerful weapon types), has an extremely
powerful debuff skill (the awesome snap freeze), and is functionally almost
immortal (repair matrix). She has Stim packs that are better than stim packs,
and aren’t hindered by stagger (the TGI still goes down due to lag and/or
stunlock, for example), and is also one of the fastest kits in the game.
The question isn’t why we should nerf her, the question is
why does she exist? I have no issue with people using her, I have an issue with
the idea that she’s the one character that doesn’t seem to be held to the same
standards of balance as the rest of the kits in the game. Great players will
always be able to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of a good kit, which is
why good players excel with characters like the Drell Assassin, GI, and Fury,
for example (while all are very squishy). But the fembot takes the risk-reward
out of the players hands; you simply make sure you’re stocked with “grenades”
and then wade into the battle.
If this is the way she’s going to be, then most other kits
could use a buff, which won’t happen. So it’s essentially not particularly fair
to players of other kits, more than it’s “cheap” to use her.
Retour en haut
